Daly: We smelt an advantage and we got a response

“One day in February” was Anthony Daly’s way of putting into perspective a six-point win seven days after a 13-point defeat.

“Mindset is everything, isn’t it? Waterford won as well. These league days, they’re funny. We’d a bit of a meeting on Tuesday night and we trained hard Tuesday and Thursday. We asked for a response and I think we got a response. We missed a few chances to make it comfortable for ourselves. Clare probably targeted last week something savage at home to Kilkenny and it’s probably hard then to be 100% tuned in for the following week.

“We smelt an advantage there and it’s good to see lads back in form. A lot of the lads like Liam (Rushe) at centre-back set the tone from early. We could have done a bit more for our scoring difference but we didn’t. We’re delighted with the win.”
